School officials and students held a ceremony at a dedicated memorial site containing his relics and an epitaph.

The event included university authorities, city officials, and representatives from the Institute of National Remembrance. Attendees honored the 1981 protesters and those who supported the movement through the ‘Solidarity’ union, reflecting on the strike's role in the struggle for freedom.
